Industrial Placement (Pipeline)

Do you want to know more about the participants and dynamics of corporate finance and capital markets? You could have the opportunity to:

• understand how our clients, including (inter alia) corporates, institutions, private equity and governments, operate businesses and consider strategic objectives;
• be involved in and contribute to the teams providing M&A advice and execution, including spinoffs, takeovers, exchange offers, takeover defence and formation of joint ventures;
• get to know the markets through IPOs, capital raising and disposal/sale;
• interact with the equities platform to get an insight into the investor community views and trends;
• learn all about debt capital markets including corporate and emerging market bonds;
• gain familiarity with structured products tailored to our clients’ funding and stake management needs (including ESG); and
• learn how we analyse complex situations and develop the best strategy to maximize our clients’ diverse objectives.

You’ll be working in our Investment Bank’s Global Banking (GB) business. You’ll work as part of the GB country, sector coverage or product teams, providing coverage, advisory, capital markets and financing solutions for corporate, financial institutions and sponsor clients (subject to your desk allocation and market activity). You’ll learn how to use market data to develop researching skills and contribute to the creation of strategic materials for your teams and our clients in a dynamic environment.

You need to be completing the Industrial Placement program as part of your studies and then graduating in 2026. You should also be on track for a 2.1 (UK grading system) or equivalent in your first undergraduate / bachelor degree

It doesn’t matter what you’re studying. (Really, it doesn’t.) But we’d like to see evidence that you can:

• analyse a problem, take a view and come to a decision
• plan, organise and communicate well
• make things happen
• stick with a task
• work in a team
• come up with ideas

Perhaps you’ve organised a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or persevered and passed an exam in a subject you found challenging? Think about how things you’ve achieved match the skills we’re after.

Alongside evidence for working well as part of a team, as part of demonstrating data analysis and content creation skills we are looking for candidates proficient in MS Office (notably Excel, Word, PowerPoint), with an ability to draw out and present key conclusions from their work. For Global Banking you need to be a high-performing candidate who can multi-task effectively, showcase strong time management skills, with an ability to work to defined deadlines.

On this 12 month industrial placement, you’ll get to join one of our teams within UBS Asset Management. You’ll still be working toward your university degree course while getting the opportunity to be a real part of the team, working with our experts and learning about the industry, our clients, our firm and a specific area of it. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts. And if you impress us, your placement may result in a full time graduate position.
